WHOAAAA NELLY! I’ve been neglecting this blog this entire year! Time to get back in the game, especially since i’ll have lots of extra time before baby Julianna comes into the picture. I thought i’d start off with sharing my favorite beauty products for the month of July!
Oh, and just a heads up, please don’t mind Benji’s facial expressions. He’s just being an attention w*ore. lol JK JK!
Neutrogena Shine Control Makeup ($12.99)
This is a great medium coverage foundation that evens out my skin tone. It works fairly well oil control wise for my oily combination skin. I still recommend using a setting powder. I especially love the natural finish of this foundation. Check out my review here.
Loreal Laquer Liner 24H Infallible in Blackest Black ($8.99)
I fell in Love with this eyeliner the first time i tried it! It has an intense matte black finish. Once it sets it doesn’t smudge what so ever. You can also put it on your waterline. If you do, be sure to set with black eyeliner. I’m a contact lens wearer and it doesn’t irritate my eyes at all.
Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover ($15.00)
This stuff removes the toughest waterproof eye makeup! It’s an oil-free, water-based makeup remover. I like how it doesn’t leave that oily residue behind. I find it leaves my eye area quite moisturized. Of course, I still cleanse my face after using it. It’s uuuber gentle so no need to tug on your eyes.
Loreal Caresse Colour Riche in Violet Chiffon ($7.99)
This is between a lip balm and a lipstick. If you just want a tint of color, go for one sweep. However, if you like it bright and bold like I do, pack in on GirlFriend! I recommend you bring this with you in your purse because its a lipstick you’d wanna touch up with throughout the day. i LOVE the color Violet Chiffon. It may look intimidating at first, but it goes on a deep pink more than purple.
Dickinson’s Witch Hazel ($6.00)
WHEEEWWWWW this stuff isn’t the best smelling in the world, but it sure does help with my skin! My poor skin suffered a lot the past few months: pregnancy hormones, my diet, and of course trying different foundations for my reviews/first impressions. Thank goodness for this toner! Its salicylic free and all natural! Pregnancy friendly for sure. I hear there is one that is rose-water scented. I’m gonna keep my eye out for that one!
JustFab Golden Gate Bridge Crossover Purse ($39.95)
Definitely one of my favorite purses this month! I’m affiliated with a company called JustFab and this was my pick without hesitation. I consider myself to have simple, chic, and timeless fashion. I’m not at all good with trends or whats “in” at the moment. Sad, but I just suck at putting fashionable things together 🙁 Thats why I LOVE this purse. It goes with almost any evening outfit. It love how it looks expensive too 😀
Clarisonic Plus ($225.00)
This is my holy grail skin care product. I just started using this again after a year and a half. After two weeks I notice my skin has been improving immensely! I bought the “oily skin” brush head at sephora and it seems to be more gentle than the original. I recommend this for anyone that has troubled skin for whatever reason: uneven skin tone, dry patches, acne, oily. Its an investment thats worth every penny. See my demo here.
